I am thinking of upgrading from a FX-5200 with 128Mb video card to a GeForce
6200 with 512MB. It will be AGP since this is a older rig. My system is
something like this:
Mobo: Abit NF7 2.0
CPU: AMD 2500+ No overclocking
Memory: 2Gbs of 333Mhz.
Monitor: Gateway 19" running 1280 x 1024
Based on the selection at Newegg, I would highly recommend going with
one of the Radeon HD 3650 or 4650 cards which only cost a little more
than the one you're looking at. HD3650 is going to be 5x faster than
GeForce 6200 and HD4650 probably 10x faster.
I think your motherboard supports AGP 8x, and I'm not sure if there
are any power supply considerations or other features (number of DVI
heads, etc) but anyway that's my 2 cents. :)
I am an Nvidia video card guy through and through, but in this case
the AGP Nvidia cards on offer there are ancient and slow compared to
their ATI counterparts.
I'm a nvidia guy. I'm not big on ATI at all. Just sort of not my cup
of tea. I have read they have better Linux support than a long time ago
but they came in a little to late for me.
I just wish that thing had a bigger heat sink on it with fans. I may
change that thing pretty quick.
Thanks.
